I'd like to see Ultra Magnus in more cartoon-accurate colors. Never liked that aqua-blue shade the old toy had. I'd also like to see all the Diaclone functionality restored like Powered Buggy.
Obviously a Delta Magnus is inevitable.
Considering we've gotten cartoon-decos for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee/Cliffjumper, & Arcee Ultra-Magnus in cartoon colors is an inevitability. The next Missing Link figures after Magnus are going to be Grimlock and Ironhide/Ratchet iirc.
I hope they do ML sidewsipe next, hes one of the few g1 toys pretty close to the cartoon looks wise and it has opportunities for interesting repaints like yellow sideswipe and red alert.
I forgot until now, but the Generations 2025 manga introduced a blue Powered Buggy named Deerstalker. He's an eccentric detective. So I suppose that's a big clue that he's going to be packed in with Ultra Magnus.

The original Diaclone version included a red version called "Powered Buggy" that could hold Diaclone pilots, the Transformers version cut him. View attachment 7835238
I'm assuming the red one will come with Delta Magnus and blue Deerstalker with Ultra Magnus. I'd love to see the wheels restored to Magnus' chest-jet-thingy and the Diaclone pilots. It would be even cooler to have little 2006 Spike and Daniel figures.

Um... Wraith made this post... um... not Doritoscream.

And then me and the boys not putting up with the pajeet faces fly boy who thinks he's the new CEO.
Have a great day!
Last week I lost one of the faces for the third party megatron I got earlier this year and I still haven't found it. The bag the faces were in fell somehow across the hallway the bag was in and onto some clothes, and somehow came ajar despite being sealed just wide enough for one of the faces to slide out of the bag. but the face wasn't in the laundry pile. If it was shaking every article of clothing vigorously didn't dislodge it. I'm pissed because I got it used for under msrp and I am not going to pay import fees and full price to get another copy just to get a new face because of bizarre broken ziploc bag physics (or the possibility of the bag being moved by house demons/gnomes/cable elves).
I'll find it sometime hopefully but for future context it was the smug/thinking looking face.
If they didn't keep hiking the price of blokees to the point it's now $90 to buy a box that previously would have cost $50 I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about these but the little shits are now way out of my price range.... Unless I'm buying used ones or the transformers one ones whioch for some reason are the only ones available in physical retail and still 4 dollars per kit.
Defenders are the smaller scale ones and their boxes are still "affordable" at like 35 but amazon just marked half of them up to 40 and 50 dollars before I could check out like a few weeks back so I just removed them from my cart and decided to just give up trying for a while. Still, they look great.
